I agree with your statement. The sooner you realize that every new card, if not broken on first sight, will be considered horrible. Until the whole expansion is revealed and decks start getting tinkered with, no one will know what works. This is the same community that thought The Marsh Queen would be good.
Maybe the Warlock DK hero power will be something like: summon a random minion that you discarded this game??
I'm hoping it has nothing to do with discard
Seriously? Do Blizzard card designers even play hearthstone? Wtf!!! No one is interested on that shitty rng mechanic!!!!!
Devolve nerf :,D
Anyway, every expansion half of people say "wait, we only have seen x cards".
Also every expansion people think that blizzard its going to support hard the discard mechanic.
People, that its not going to happen, this is a bad bad card, team 5 has already said that they like the mechanic the way its is now (impredictable).
Why the hell didn't they make this card a demon? Or a Taunt? Or give it an effect like when you discard this card give it back to your hand and buff it + 1/1? But really this is NOT even a demon? Why Blizzard? As a demon you would have at least some sort of search or buff option but nope. And look at the picture. This thing isn't a god damn demon? *sigh* Sorry but I hoped it will come a time when you can play a Demon Warlock again like in the old days...
Can't be a demon. If you learn about her background, she's an undead blood elf ;)
I really hate the Discard mechanic in Hearthstone. Its extremely bad if you discard the wrong cards and extremely op if you discard the right ones.
A better design would've been to let you choose which card to discard, but lower the power level of the discard-synergy cards overall. Eg. Silverware Golem would read: "If you discard this minion, you may pay its cost to summon it". That way, you still benefit from the card with the discard effect, but Silverware Golem does not give you additional tempo, instead only negates the card advantage loss.
Guys, guys, take a moment to ignore the fact that this card sucks and notice that HOLY MOTHER WARLOCK HAS HEALING mindsplosion
Great point! Warlock now has a healing card!
Well, a healing card in addition to Drain life.
And Sacrificial Pact
And Siphon Soul
And Mistress of Pain, the original 'life steal'
Had so much fun with Mistress of Pain and buffs :)
Touché. But do you know that all of those cards have in common? They're terrible, and haven't seen competitive play in ages (albeit Siphon Soul, but that's hardly thanks to the measly 3 heals).
Imagine if the Warlock DK power is discover a random card you've discarded this game. :)
just give me back my Molten Giants.
this can actually work depending on what cards they add to the discard mecanic WL. it's not a build around, but if you discard more than 3 cards b4 turn 5 you can play this on curve with a high value, if not, 2 discarded cards i think makes this a good card to play, a 3/6 lifesteal is a pain in the ass. WL always had issues with his LP without Reno, this card doesn't fix that, the same way it doesn't fix the discard lock, but it can be good, since to get the buff it doesn't have to sit on your hand.
So, in turn 5 at its best, its a worst Drakonid Operative, because can be silenced and you're probably has discard 4 cards.
Blizzard hates Gul'dan..... and players hate discard mechanic. No more unnecesary RNGs, thanks.
